Brandon Hurtado · pitmaster & founder
The pitmaster
Texas tradition, earned daily.
Brandon Hurtado grew up in the Central Texas tradition — where barbecue isn't a style, it's a standard. When he opened inside The Market Building at Dallas Farmers Market, he brought that standard with him: post-oak smoke, brisket that's never rushed, and the kind of fat-cap bark that tells you everything was done right.
The line out the door on Saturday mornings isn't a mystery. It's what happens when a pitmaster doesn't compromise. The brisket is smoked overnight. The jalapeño cheddar sausage is house-made. The ribs are trimmed the way a Central Texas pit expects them — not rubbed into submission, just seasoned and trusted.
Hurtado Barbecue is one of the anchor restaurants in The Market Building, which means you can grab a pound of brisket and walk straight to 2nd Tap for a Texas craft pour, pick up fresh tortillas from Tres Generaciones, and eat at a market table surrounded by every good thing Dallas Farmers Market has to offer.
